AMERICAN HI-FI - "flavor of the weak" Tablature

Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2002 18:01:27 +0100
From: Harry <prawntobewild@madasafish.com>
Subject: a/american_hi-fi/flavor_of_the_weak.tab

Band: American Hi-Fi
Song: Flavor of the Weak
Album: American Hi-Fi

Original Tablature: Al (Foodude12@aol.com)
Subsequent Versions: Harry (tab@electricweb.org.uk)

I found the original version of this tab hard to follow in places, and
there were a couple of bits missing. This is the second time I've revised
this tab. This time I've made some more corrections and musical changes,
and broken up some parts differently to make the arrangement for two
guitars possible. I have played the song from this tab and I think that
everything is correct now. This file was produced using the song, and the
tab by Al - everything else is my own work.

Tuning: Drop D (Which is kind of annoying as it's only 'used' in the intro)

b - bend
r - release
\ - slide
